Imran Khan's sisters and lawyers denied visit at Adiala prison despite court order

Wednesday, 16 September 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

Sisters and lawyers of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan were turned away from Adiala prison in Islamabad on Tuesday, in what Khan's legal team described as a violation of orders from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) mandating that family members be allowed to visit on Tuesdays and party leaders on Thursdays. Aleema Khan, one of Khan's sisters, told reporters outside the prison that court orders were being flouted and alleged that the ruling establishment was attempting to keep her brother incarcerated. The visit was blocked as Pakistan's newly established Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) separately summoned Supreme Court case records relating to Khan's ordered transfer to Shifa International Hospital, a move rejected by Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), as an attempt to undermine the Supreme Court and prolong his imprisonment.
